Explanation

This template encloses the provided text within a dashed line box. The text to the right of the box may be some type of comment such as "a prompt asking for the root password will open.". The effect will be shrink to fit but the width (depending upon wrap style) of the box can be adjusted if necessary. Note the <nowiki> 'prefixed with a space' formatting trick should be avoided. Other style markup like for italic or bold should be placed directly around the specific content and not around the entire template. Individual # symbols should be replaced with {{pound}} and a series of pound symbols may be enclosed within nowiki tags or they will be parsed as numbered list elements.

Usage

{{txtbox|width=value|box=content such as parens containing 5( ) spaces preserved,
'''second line - {{highlight|note that bold and italic and highlight/redlight}}'''|txt=Text to right of box<br>''second line'' - {{redlight|are possible too.}}}}

Result

content such as parens containing 5( ) spaces preserved,
second line - note that bold and italic and highlight/redlight
